A Word of Welcome I would like to welcome all of you joining us for the academic year 2010/11 at the University of Leipzig studying either the MA “Global Studies – A European Perspective” or the MA “European Studies”. The Global and European Studies Institute (GESI) at Leipzig University and its partner institutions both inside and outside Europe will host you for your next academic steps towards graduation. The Institute will be also the framework for the students’ representatives from both programmes to meet regularly with the academic staff and to contribute to the programmes’ future. The MA “Global Studies” was selected by the European Commission for the funding of a second 5-years-term which allows us to expand the already existing consortium’s reach to Asia (including now universities in Delhi and Shanghai). At the same time the consortium salutes Roskilde University in Denmark among its members and is happy to have a department on board which specializes in the fields of sociology, political sciences and developmental studies. Concerning the “European Studies”, we also have new partners, since two institutions in Paris, the University of Paris VII and the Ecole Normale Supérieure, signed recently Erasmus contracts allowing students to spend a term abroad. The renewed cooperation with French institutions will also be subject of an international conference to be held in late November which will explore traditions of the French-German intellectual transnationality. This brochure is meant to give you an overview of all the seminars and lectures offered during the winter term here in Leipzig, but please have also a look at our website for more information on courses offered by our partners. Coping with longer chronologies, wider spaces and cultural heterogeneities is a serious challenge both to common sense narratives on national and world affairs and to methodologies you have heard about during your previous studies. Therefore the first term of your Master’s course is organized in a way that professors from various disciplines introduce you to approaches both from history, social sciences and cultural studies, while in the following semesters you will have more choices to specialize in various fields and directions. For research matters the GESI is also closely related to the recently established Centre for Area Studies and you should use the opportunity to meet there well known guest scholars and visiting faculty. A third pillar of Leipzig’s focus on processes of globalization is the Research Academy with its PhD-study programmes. You will meet some of the young researchers from that institution as teachers in class and we’re sure that they will contribute to an exciting international environment. I wish all of you an excellent start into this winter term and hope you will discover both the city of Leipzig and its University as convenient places for your study time.

First study year

Modul GS 710 Introduction to Global History

You have to attend: 1 lecture + 1 tutorial + 1 seminar

Introduction to Global History

Lecture Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Matthias Middell (Global and European Studies Institute) Time: Mon, 9am – 11am (weekly), first lecture on the 11th of October Place: S 127, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: compulsory Examination form: coordinated with the lecturer of the tutorial The lecture introduces into the wide field of global studies by focussing on approaches to rewrite world history in a global age. The first major aim is to explore how historians of different times and places have answered questions like:

• Why should we write, study or read global history?

• How have understandings of global or world history changed across time?

• What is global history good for?

• What is the relation between globalization and global history?

• What are the difficulties of studying and writing global histories?

• Does world history writing influence our common future?

• What are Euro- and Americano-centrism? Are non-centric world histories possible?

• How has the professional and public reception of world history changed?

The second aim of the course is to explore the relationship between an historical approach and other perspectives on globalization. Globalization, understood as a political project, pursued by specific actors with conflicting interests and characterized by dynamic power relations across time will be analysed on a variety of key areas such as economic and social inequalities, global governance and world orders, the role of technology, worldwide migration systems or the history of war and political competition over the 19th and 20th century. Introductory literature: For this course, a good general reference work like Patrick Manning’s Navigating World History: Historians Create a Global Past (University Library of Leipzig: NB 5100 M265), the Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Thinking (NB 5100 B789-1), the Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History or the little volume Fifty Key Thinkers on History of Marnie Hughes-Warrington (NB 5650 H894) can be useful. Main journals in the field are the American-based Journal of World History, the British Journal of Global History and the Leipzig based journal “Comparativ. Zeitschrift für Globalgeschichte und vergleichende Gesellschaftsforschung“ – all of them provide important articles, book reviews and thematic issues on topics in the field and should be regularly consulted. The online journal World History Connected is also worth a look (http://worldhistoryconnected.press.uiuc.edu/).

Introduction to Global History

Tutorial Lecturer: Steffi Marung, MA (Geisteswissenschaftliches Zentrum für Geschichte und Kultur Ostmitteleuropas) Time: We, 9am-11am and 11am-1pm (weekly) Place: CAS, Thomaskirchhof 20 Participation: compulsory Examination form: to be communicated by the lecturer The tutorial will provide for the information about required readings, methods and techniques in order to introduce students into the study of global history.

Global Performance of National Identities Seminar Lecturer: Marina Renault, Research Academy Leipzig Time: Tue, 9am-11am (weekly) Place: 3.16, GESI, Emil-Fuchs-Str. 1 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Since the end of the 19th Century international events like the world exhibitions provided a platform for Nation States to demonstrate technological power and superiority. In the last Century, international mega events (e.g. Olympics, World Cup etc.) became not only a possibility of promotion, but were also justified as means to enhance the economy of cities and countries. The proposition of this Seminar is to contextualize the efforts of self-presentation and promotion of Nation States within the current processes of Nation Building and globalization. However not only in a historical perspective, but mainly regarding the lately changes in the processes of delimitation of symbolic borders, and also concerning the transformations of societies, their material and consumer cultures and identity projects. Strategic political and economical decisions, whether taken at the helm of the foreign relations or within the market, are usually driven by the perception of attractiveness, in which not only hard data, but also images plays a big role. To acknowledge this tandem between image and power was always imperative to better understand the processes of Nation Building. Nowadays it is still constantly considered for projects and decisions of foreign affairs, in the politics and practices of soft power, and more recently in strategies of public diplomacy and nation branding. In this seminar the media will be regarded as a space for interaction and visibility, whereas the consumer and media cultures are not only mediating the production, but also the reception of the political. In this context, the efforts of promotion and self-presentation of countries shall be understood as an attempt to claim for visibility and participation, to fight against disadvantageous representations and to improve reputation. The sessions will be illustrated with images, ads and videos. The students ought to give one presentation of required readings for discussion, deliver two reaction papers (300 words) and a final essay (1,200 words).

The development of the prison from a global historical perspective Seminar Lecturer: Dr. Markus Müller Time: Tue, 1pm-3pm (weekly) Location: S 227, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Whilst just a few decades ago the end of the prison as a state-led institution of social discipline was predicted, the worldwide figure of inmates has recently however reached an historical all-time high. It is against this backdrop that the block-seminar on the development of the prison from a global perspective is set. Following an introduction to the topic using the central theoretical texts, the developmental process of prisons in Europe, the USA, Latin America and Asia will be identified and the connection between this development process and the changes in the relationship between the state and society will be investigated. The seminar is aimed at students of the historical and political science disciplines with an interest in historical comparative perspectives of political processes. Colonialism and resistance Seminar Lecturer: Nathanael Kuck Time: Tue, 9am-11am Place: S 401, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay The way historiography is looking at European expansion has changed markedly in recent years. While structures of economic as well as political domination and the underlying reasons for the imperialist expansionism were at the center of interest until the 1980s the focus subsequently started to shift to the realm of culture: How were identities negotiated in a colonial situation? In what way were the metropoles influenced by the building of empires? How did the colonial context (re-)form gender relations and sexuality? In what intricate ways were colonialism and the production of knowledge interwoven? In the wake of the cultural turn in social and cultural sciences questions like these came to the fore and they will also form an important part of this seminar on colonialism and its counter movements. Furthermore approaches of a more ´structural´ kind will be included, i.e. debates on the environmental history, the economy and the (end of) rule of empires. The seminar will cover the time from the end of the 19th century, the age of ´high-imperialism´, until the completion of most decolonization processes in the 1960s. Essential for such a broad setting are synthetic texts but case-studies will also be used to highlight specific aspects of a topic. Additionally, selected sources will contribute to the understanding of the discussed issues from the perspective of the historical actors. Thus the seminar aims at conveying basic knowledge about modern colonialism and the different forms of resistance on the basis of recent research literature and sources and, added to that, enable the participants to analyze processes of (de)colonization on their own.

1989 in India Seminar Lecturer: Michael Mann Time: Wed, 1pm-3pm Place: Room 4.15, GESI Emil-Fuchs-Str. 1 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay

Generally the year 1989 is regarded as a major cesura marking, together with the end of WW1 as the second major cesura, the short twentieth century. From a European perspective, the spectacular fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 certainly ended the division of the continent. Globally seen that event also ended the Cold War era. Yet it is still debated within the academia whether 1989 was, indeed, a global event or whether it was simply a European event causing global consequences. Looking at India in 1989 aims at the first presumption, i.e. that 1989 was a global event. The development and history of the Indian Union before 1989 indicates that the "winds of change" were also blowing in South Asia. This means that India also contributed to the global changes in 1989 and was not only influenced by those events, as many book-titles indicate (India since 1989).

There is no supreme discipline and there are no privileged approaches towards the understanding of processes of globalisation. Against this background, this lecture will offer an introduction to different social science approaches which deal with ‘globalisation’, including political science, sociology, global history and new political geography. This seminar is supported by the university’s online-platform MOODLE which will also provide access to compulsory readings. Suggested readings for preparation: Held, D. and A. McGrew 2007.

Emerging trends in South Asia with special reference to India Seminar Lecturers: Francis Sabil/Sangeetha Parthasarathi/Anandita Bajpai Time: Tue, 11am-1pm Place: S 124, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main Examination form: essay The proposed seminar shall focus on the interaction between the processes of Globalization and the territorial borders of Nation-States. With India as its primary object of analysis, the seminar will examine the larger question of how globalization has triggered a thrust on global flows, borderless bricolages, power arrangements etc. while simultaneously inducing a resistance/acceptance by the Nation-State to these phenomena. Thus how the discourses on the one hand render national borders irrelevant, while on the other how they are drifting yet focusing on the Nation-States as crucial actors. India’s emerging economic status in Asia next to that of China and Japan has triggered a new self-definition of its own image leading to an increasingly stronger thrust on its new political role on the global front. Many analyses and models predict how this role could be a potential strong actor in shaping future politics and international order. The seminar shall delve into some of the emerging trends that constitute this rise or the transformational trends challenging it. In this light, the channels of observation shall incorporate- the colonial constructions of knowledge and the post-colonial conceptions/ institutionalization of knowledge in an emergent society like India’s, the impact of scientific modernity on the cross section of a society, the globalization of agriculture characterized by a wider access to the world market, more global competition, involvement of agri-business and corporations, formation of food supply chains and increasing international food trade i.e. the emerging issue of food in/security, the trajectory of India’s economic transformation, its role in regional security issues, its location within external frameworks like BRICs, IBSA etc. Though the seminar utilizes the Indian example for elaboration, it shall do so within the larger context of South Asian reality by first situating India within South Asia, introducing South Asia and the discourses behind its historical inception and finally by delving into the intricacies of the intertwining geographical, political and economic realities of the countries within the region. In this context, the interaction between the nation-states and their self-portrayal on transnational/global stages shall be studied with reference to South Asia.

Second study year Module GS 910: Regions in Globalization: Africa You have to attend: 2 Seminars

State in Africa Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Ulf Engel (Institut für Afrikanistik; Global and European Studies Institute) Time: Wednesdays 9am-11am Place: NGW 2216 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay In African Studies the African state is regarded to be at a critical juncture: Since the early 1990s some states have managed a reconfiguration of state-society relations which led to new legitimacy of incumbent governments, usually in formally democratic settings (e. g. Benin, Ghana). However, some states have also ceased to function and are described as “collapsed” or “failed” (e. g. DR Congo, Somalia). Against this background this seminar will introduce major social science approaches towards the study of African statehood as they have developed since the 1960s. In particular we will look at the historicity of African statehood, the nature of the post-colonial state, the development of quasi states, the concept of neopatrimonialism, the critical juncture of the 1990s and, finally, the emergence of translocal and transnational social spaces beyond the state since. This seminar is supported by the university’s online-platform MOODLE which will also provide access to compulsory readings.

Economic Reforms and Private Sector Development Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Helmut Asche (Institut für Afrikanistik) Time: Wednesdays 3pm-5pm Place: NGW 2216 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay The seminar deals with strategies and particular methods / sectors of private sector development using examples from Sub-Saharan Africa (policy overview; transport & communication; banking and micro finance; water supply; improving investment climate; new approaches to global value chain promotion). The policy overview is given as lecture. All GS participants are expected to give oral presentations and submit essays on selected topics.

New Social Movements in Asia and Northern Africa Seminar Lecturer: Prof. emerit. Dr. Helmut Elsenhans Time: Wed, 5pm-7pm Place: S 320, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay The International System of the 21st Century will be multipolar with major powers and other important states in Asia and North Africa being governed or strongly influenced by new cultural identitarian movements. These movements have an ambivalent relation with Western type modernity and are based on large class coalitions. They have deep roots in the relations of their societies with the West and their contenders, Western oriented secularist movements. In a multipolar world system, they have to find solutions for the international cooperation. Facing internal contradictions, they have to develop visions about the management of complex

economies despite their insistence on non-economic issues. Here they have to face on the one hand the claims of rising middle classes for economic freedom and limited competition, one the other hand the persistence of marginality of large masses.

Mentalities and Missions: Missions and Modernity in Sub-Saharan Africa Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Adam Jones Time: Fridays 11am-1pm Place: NGW 2216 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Do Africans think differently from us? What historical factors have influenced the ways in which Africans interpret reality and attribute value or meaning? Can we generalise about 'African' modes of thought? The seminar will look at selected case studies within this vast field. The topics covered will include examples of apparently 'irrational' behaviour drawn from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, such as witchcraft / anti-witchcraft, 'human sacrifice', millenarianism and prophecy. Particular attention will be paid to the impact of colonial rule, missionary work and literacy. A reader will be provided

Disputed Modernities: Discourses on HIV/AIDS in Africa and Europe Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Rose Marie Beck (Institut für Afrikanistik) Time: Tuesdays 1pm-3pm Place: NGW 3215 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay HIV/AIDS is said to be one of the worst pandemics of the modern world. In the battle against the pandemic innumerous studies of very diverse disciplinary and applied backgrounds have been produced. In this course we want to have an exemplary look at some studies available, from medicine and public health through sociology and anthropology to linguistics, with or without applied perspectives. We will cross the path of notions of health, of sexuality, reproduction, social and individual well-being, witchcraft and healing, the costs of the pandemic on society and on health systems, of development aid, Aids-warriors and Aids-Denialism, and the history of science. Throughout we want to develop a critical perspective which contends that HIV/AIDS is currently one of the most disputed fields where hegemony and claims to the meanings of modernity between Africa and Europe are hotly debated and negotiated. In a nutshell we can say that any text about HIV/AIDS is informed by ideological assumptions, explicit or implicit. Therefore, if we want to understand what HIV/AIDS is about, we must get into a discourse analytically informed critique of the available body of literature.

Module GS 920: Regions in Globalization: The Americas You have to attend: 2 Seminars

Contesting the transatlantic space Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Christer Garrett (Institut für Amerikanistik) Time: Wed, 1pm-3pm Place: 2.516, GWZ Participation: choice Main examination form: essay The transatlantic space – or the values and norms, institutions, and issues around which and with which the U.S. and Europe interact – is undergoing a dynamic phase of recalibration, or more pointedly, contestation. One overarching theme that underlines the challenges to the transatlantic space is security in its fullest sense. With the end of the cold war and, in the context of 9-11, the United States and Europe are engaged in a basic discussion about what societies mean by security, and what priorities citizens and governments want to set for pursuing security. In this seminar we will explore cultures of security in the United States and Europe that lead to cooperation, competition, and the contestation of the transatlantic space.

US-EU Relations and Cultures of Global Governance Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Christer Garrett (Institut für Amerikanistik) Time: Tue, 3pm-5pm Place: 2.516, GWZ Participation: choice Main examination form: essay

Debates about global governance are shaping more than ever the evolution of US-EU ties. In this seminar we will explore how the United States constructs strategy toward the E.U. in the context of global governance and what this reveals about the values, norms, and institutions structuring more broadly America’s engagement with Europe. American policies toward the EU also have of course to do with European approaches to cooperation (and competition) with the United States, especially in a global context. The seminar will thus explore at a more basic level how cultures of politics and policy – in this case cultures of global governance emerging from the United States and the EU – are shaped by the interplay of values and norms, institutions, and interests.

Indigenous Movements in Latin America Seminar Lecturer: PD Dr. Peter Gärtner Time: Mon, 5pm-7pm Place: S 301, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay This seminar will examine indigenous peoples’ social movements in Latin America. Indigenous peoples form a sizable and well-organized minority in many Latin American countries, such as Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, and represent a majority of the population in Bolivia and Guatemala. Their political and cultural movements have gained international visibility in recent years – most notably though the Zapatista uprising in Mexico and the democratic election of Evo Morales as first indigenous president in the history of Bolivia. Indigenous survival, resistance and mobilization have deep historical roots in the experience of conquest, colonization and state formation. We will evaluate these topics in the first part of our course. In the second part we will study four of the most significant movements in Latin America. Empirically, the seminar focuses on those regions with the highest concentrations of indigenous population: Mesoamerica (Guatemala and the Mexican state of Chiapas), and the Central Andes (Ecuador and Bolivia). The last part of this seminar considers themes that cut across indigenous movements throughout Latin America, such as relations with the state, constructions of ethnic and national identities, organizational strategies and their impact to the development of democracy. All themes we analyze and discuss in a global perspective. Thus, in the last session we summarize these global aspects of the Latin American indigenous movements.

Emerging trends in South Asia with special reference to India Seminar Lecturers: Francis Sabil/Sangeetha Parthasarathi/Anandita Bajpai Time: Tue, 11am-1pm Place: S 124, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay The proposed seminar shall focus on the interaction between the processes of Globalization and the territorial borders of Nation-States. With India as its primary object of analysis, the seminar will examine the larger question of how globalization has triggered a thrust on global flows, borderless bricolages, power arrangements etc. while simultaneously inducing a resistance/acceptance by the Nation-State to these phenomenon. Thus how the discourses on the one hand render national borders irrelevant, while on the other how they are drifting yet focusing on the Nation-States as crucial actors. India’s emerging economic status in Asia next to that of China and Japan has triggered a new self-definition of its own image leading to an increasingly stronger thrust on its new political role on the global front. Many analyses and models predict how this role could be a potential strong actor in shaping future politics and international order. The seminar shall delve into some of the emerging trends that constitute this rise or the transformational trends challenging it. In this light, the channels of observation shall incorporate- the colonial constructions of knowledge and the post-colonial conceptions/ institutionalization of knowledge in an emergent society like India’s, the impact of scientific modernity on the cross section of a society, the globalization of agriculture characterized by a wider access to the world market, more global competition, involvement of agri-business and corporations, formation of food supply chains and increasing international food trade i.e. the emerging issue of food in/security, the trajectory of India’s economic transformation, its role in regional security issues, its location within external frameworks like BRICs, IBSA etc. Though the seminar utilizes the Indian example for elaboration, it shall do so within the larger context of South Asian reality by first situating India within South Asia, introducing South Asia and the discourses behind its historical inception and finally by delving into the intricacies of the intertwining geographical, political and economic realities of the countries within the region. In this context, the interaction between the nation-states and their self-portrayal on transnational/global stages shall be studied with reference to South Asia.

Visual Images, Popular Culture and Religions: Representing Japanese Religions in and through the Media Seminar Lecturer: Dr. Elisabetta Porcu (Centre for Area Studies) Time: Thu, 11am-1pm Place: M 102, Schillerstr. 6 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay This course will explore representations of Japanese religions in and through visual media. We will analyze how religions are represented “in the media,” that is, the image creation of religions from outside the religious institutions; and “through the media,” that is, how religious institutions represent themselves by means of visual communication tools. In particular, this course will focus on both established Buddhist traditions and new religious movements during the modern and contemporary periods. As examples of popular culture, the course will analyze representations and self-representations of religions in both manga (Japanese comics) and anime (animation movies)–which in Japan have reached the proportions of a mass phenomenon—and the ways that religions are promoted and presented. All this will be explored in connection with consumerism and art as aspects of religious proselytization and promotion in present-day society.

1989 in India Seminar Lecturer: Michael Mann Time: Wed, 1pm-3pm Place: Room 4.15, GESI Emil-Fuchs-Str. 1 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Generally the year 1989 is regarded as a major cesura marking, together with the end of WW1 as the second major cesura, the short twentieth century. From a European perspective, the spectacular fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 certainly ended the division of the continent. Globally seen that event also ended the Cold War era. Yet it is still debated within the academia whether 1989 was, indeed, a global event or whether it was simply a European event causing global consequences. Looking at India in 1989 aims at the first presumption, i.e. that 1989 was a global event. The development and history of the Indian Union before 1989 indicates that the "winds of change" were also blowing in South Asia. This means that India also contributed to the global changes in 1989 and was not only influenced by those events, as many book-titles indicate (India since 1989).

Eastern Europe in the European World Economy (1500-1800) Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Stefan Troebst (Global and European Studies Institute) Time: Tuesdays 5pm-6:30pm Place: 3.15, GESI, Emil-Fuchs-Str. 1 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay In the early modern period, Northwestern Europe, i. e. the Netherlands and England, became the core of what Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein have called the European World-Economy—a transcontinental trade network incorporating parts of Asia, Africa and the Americas. A precondition for this development was the transformation of East-Central Europe, here in particular of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, into Northwestern Europe’s ‘bread basket’ as well as of Muscovy into the main production area for naval stores and thus into the backbone of the Dutch and English merchant fleet and navy. Eastern Europe’s new economic importance had significant socio-economic consequences like ‘gutsherrschaft’ and ‘second serfdom’. Parallely, the territorial expansion of the Muscovite State to the South and into Siberia turned Eastern Europe into an important transit region for West European trade with Iran, India and China. The tiny Baltic Duchy of Kurland acquired even colonies in the West Indies. Literatur: Braudel, Fernand: Civilisation matérielle, économie et capitalisme (XVe–XVIIIe siècles). 3 vols.

Approaches to the History of Europeanization Seminar Lecturer: Claudia Baumann, MA (Global and European Studies Institute) Time: Mon, 3pm-5pm Place: 3.16, Emil-Fuchs-Str. 1 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay This seminar focuses on processes of Europeanization and its main actors. Therefore it doesn’t deal with Europe as an entity that is already given but it looks into the fabrication of Europeaness. While the first part of the seminar will deal with recently popularised historical narratives, the second part will more focus on institutions where Europe negotiates with its neighbours and other regions in the world on issues like economic cooperation, military engagement, developmental policy and international regimes facing the challenges of current globalisation. Students are required to submit a book review and a research paper of 3500-4000 words on a topic chosen from the list proposed by the lecturer.

Capitalism in contemporary Turkey Seminar Lecturer: Luisa Piart, Research Academy Leipzig Time: Thursdays, 1pm-3pm Place: S 211, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Like many developing countries, Turkey implemented major liberalization policies starting in 1980. Under the auspices of the International Monetary Fund, the country switched from import-substitution to export-oriented industrialization strategies. Since then, the domestic economy has been heavily relying on export and is thus increasingly connected with the global economy. The course will consider how global dynamics have shaped the Turkish path of capitalism from different perspectives. Capitalism encompasses production, distribution and consumption. The course will focus on these three spheres, and cover topics such as social policies, geographic disparities, and business environment at a macro and micro-level of analysis.

Gender, Identity, and Social Movements in Post-socialist Societies Seminar Lecturer: Dr. Tracie Wilson Time: Tue, 11am-1pm Place: S 223, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay The crumbling of rigid political boundaries between the former Soviet bloc and Western countries twenty years ago has also opened rich areas for exploration with regard to the intersections of gender, other forms of identity, and social movements. This seminar examines the ways that images of femininity, masculinity and ambiguity were and are articulated and constituted in varied ways in communist and post-communist societies, as well as the ways in which gender limitations and potentialities converge with everyday realities. Basic concepts and literature on social movements in modern contexts will also provide a framework for examining gender issues in the region, with the caveat that social movements under communist regimes, as well as in the post-communist era, often faced different challenges than their counterparts in the West. The perspective of the course is grounded in ethnographic/anthropological approaches, but also draws from historical texts. For example, as a means of better understanding more contemporary contexts the course will also consider turn of the century (19th/20th) antecedents that have contributed to current attitudes and movements. In addition, students will be introduced to literature on gender and identity in Eastern Europe. We will also examine more recent scholarship on “intersectionality” and gender inequalities and consider its applicability within the contexts of the region. Key Questions: How did the diverse backgrounds of Soviet bloc countries shape ideas about gender during and after the communist era? What areas of commonality existed? To what degree is gender embedded in broader debates about identity, power, and worldview, as well as everyday concerns (i.e. economic, health-related)? Who are the actors in gender-centered social movements and organizations? What are their motivations? To what degree do gender-related organizations and institutions change or remain the same over time? Do the issues they address change? What examples of global processes can we identify that address concepts of gender in post-socialist societies? Key Texts Clements, B.E., R. Friedman, and D. Healey. 2002.

Nationales Privatrecht und transnationale Sachverhalte Seminar

Lecturer: Dr. Martin Heckel (Centre for Area Studies) Time: Wed, 11am-1pm Place: S 321, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Der Kurs ist dem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen staatlich veranlasstem nationalen Privatrecht und transnationalen Sachverhalten gewidmet. Er wendet sich an Hörer ohne vertiefte Vorkenntnisse im Recht. Ihnen wird eine allgemeine Einführung in die wichtigsten Gebiete des deutschen Privatrechts geboten. Daran anschließend werden Sachverhalte thematisiert, die den nationalen Rahmen verlassen und transnationale Relevanz haben. Solche Sachverhalte sind Regelungsgegenstand des internationalen Privatrechts bzw. des internationalen Wirtschaftsrechts. Neben einer generellen Einführung in diese Rechtsgebiete soll besonderes Augenmerk hier der Regelungsebene und den beteiligten Akteuren gelten. Während das internationale Privatrecht trotz wachsender Bedeutung der Europäischen Union in diesem Bereich im Kern nach wie vor nationales Recht ist und im Prinzip einen transnationalen Sachverhalt einem nationalen Recht zuordnet, zeigt sich im Bereich des internationalen Wirtschaftsrechts eine starke Entstaatlichung und Privatisierung der Rechtsetzung einschließlich der Streitschlichtung (Schiedsgerichte). Damit einher geht ein Bedeutungszuwachs solcher Rechte, die nicht staatlich sind, wie etwa das islamische Recht. Europa orientalis – das orthodoxe Europa als Geschichtsraum Seminar Lecturer: Dr. Wolfram von Scheliha (Global and European Studies Institute) Time: Wed, 3pm-5pm Place: S 215, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay „Orthodoxe aller Länder vereinigt Euch!“, fordert eine russische NGO, und der weißrussische Präsident Lukašenka soll bekannt haben: „Ich bin Atheist, aber ich bin ein orthodoxer Atheist“. Für russische Schulen wird seit langem die Schaffung eines Faches „Grundlagen der orthodoxen Kultur“ als Pendant zu dem an US-Colleges verbreiteten Kurs „The History of Western Civilization“ gefordert. Aber auch in Westeuropa wird und wurde der orthodoxe Teil des Kontinent als etwas Andersartiges und Fremdes wahrgenommen. „Alter orbis“, eine andere Welt, nannte ihn ein Krakauer Bischof im 12. Jh., und Samuel Huntington stellte in seinem Buch „The Clash of Civilizations“ fest: „Europe ends where Western Christianity ends and Islam and Orthodoxy begin.“ Diese fast tausendjährige religiöse Spaltung ist nach dem Verschwinden des ideologisch bedingten „eisernen Vorhangs“ wieder deutlich sichtbar geworden. In dem Seminar wird der Versuch unternommen, das „Europa orientalis“ in einem weiten zeitlichen Bogen vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart mit einem Fokus auf Russland zu erfassen. In den Blick genommen werden dabei sowohl Aspekte, die einen solchen orthodox-europäischen Geschichtsraum zu konstituieren geeignet sind, als auch diejenigen, die einer solchen Konstruktion entgegenlaufen. Themenschwerpunkte sind u.a.: „The Byzantine Commonwealth“, „Moskau – das dritte Rom“, Europäisierung/Verwestlichung, Slavophile/Westler, Eurasianismus, politische Orthodoxie als Ideologie der post-sowjetischen Ära.

Distinktive Merkmale islamischer Rechtssysteme Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Hans-Georg Ebert (Institut für Orientalistik) Time: Mon, 9am-10:30 am Place: S 102, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Die Lehrveranstaltung beleuchtet strukturelle und konzeptionelle Besonderheiten der sharî’a im Unterschied zum westlichen Recht unter besonderer Beachtung der deutschen Rechtsordnung. Dabei sollen zunächst wichtige islamisch-rechtliche Termini herausgearbeitet und in den Kontext einer vom Islam geprägten Gesellschaft gestellt werden. An Hand von arabischen Quellen werden islamische Bestimmungen der usûl und furû’ al-fiqh analysiert. Methoden und neue Theorien zur Reform- und Anpassungsfähigkeit des Islamischen Rechts bilden die Basis für Veränderungen in den Rechtsordnungen arabischer Länder. So kann eine verkündete Islamisierung des Rechts durchaus mit der Fortexistenz oder gar Übernahme westlicher Rechtsvorstellungen harmonieren. Arabische Sprachkenntnisse werden vorausgesetzt.

New Social Movements in Asia and Northern Africa Seminar Lecturer: Prof. emerit. Dr. Helmut Elsenhans Time: Wed, 5pm-7pm Place: S 320, Neues Seminargebäude, Augustusplatz Participation: choice Main examination form: essay The International System of the 21st Century will be multipolar with major powers and other important states in Asia and North Africa being governed or strongly influenced by new cultural identitarian movements. These movements have an ambivalent relation with Western type modernity and are based on large class coalitions. They have deep roots in the relations of their societies with the West and their contenders, Western oriented secularist movements. In a multipolar world system, they have to find solutions for the international cooperation. Facing internal contradictions, they have to develop visions about the management of complex economies despite their insistence on non-economic issues. Here they have to face on the one hand the claims of rising middle classes for economic freedom and limited competition, one the other hand the persistence of marginality of large masses. A number of subjects is suggested which exceeds the number of sessions. Only those subjects will be treated for which presenters among the students are found. Students can chose topics, which only partially cover one of the blocks, one aspect or one case or any other reasonable limitation.

Globalization and its Discontents Seminar Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Jörg Gertel (Institut für Orientalistik) Time: Thu, 9:30am-11am Place: M 204 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Das Seminar vermittelt einen Einblick in die Potentiale einer theoriegeleiteten Globalisierungsforschung. Zum ersten werden Theorien besprochen, die uns helfen können, Globalisierung besser zu verstehen. Zum zweiten befassen wir uns mit einer Auswahl von Fallstudien aus verschiedensten Regionen der Welt, anhand derer lokale Auswirkungen von Globalisierung deutlich werden. Zur Sprache kommen dabei verschiedenste Themenbereiche der Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeographie wie etwa Märkte, Armut und Überleben, Stadtentwicklung, räumliche Verfasstheit von Produktion und Konsum, Ent- und Reterritorialisierungen, Grenzen, neue Identitäten u.v.m. Ziel ist es, Instrumentarien zu vermitteln, mittels derer sinnvoll über Globalisierung geforscht und nachgedacht werden kann. Die Fähigkeit zur Lektüre auch komplexer englischsprachiger Texte wird vorausgesetzt, ebenso die Bereitschaft zur selbständigen Recherche und Erschließung neuer Themenfelder.

Academic Writing Seminar Lecturers: Martha Boeglin Time: 4– 5 December 2010 Place: 3.15, GESI, Emil-Fuchs-Str. 1 Participation: choice Main examination form: essay Writing research is one of the most difficult - and unavoidable - requirement of graduate study . When it comes time to write it, however, many students feel left to their own devices. But experience shows that most of the writing problems are technical in nature. In this workshop you will learn to apply simple and clearly structured methods step by step, to reach your goal serenely and without losing time. Concrete exercises support structuring of ideas and formulating the main questions. Revision techniques help to create clarity and precision. The feedback on the written texts generates cooperation between you as a writers and your readers: you'll become aware of your progress and, by taking distance from your text you'll notice your stong and weak points and take the expectations of your audience into account. Learning Objectives: Learning and practicing an appropriate strategy for an efficient execution of a research paper. Treated topics: Avoiding writer's blocks; Methodical preparation of a research paper; Segmentation of a research paper into manageable parts; Formulation of research goals; Strategies for quickly composing the first draft; Revision tools. Improvement of self-organisation. Time-management In this workshop you will prepare your own master project. Therefore it is recommended that the topic of your project is chosen before the workshop.

Master European Studies

Syllabus

Zur Einführung Liebe „European Studies“-Studierende, das Vorlesungsverzeichnis des Wintersemesters 2010/11 enthält, wie Sie sehen, einen deutlichen Schwerpunkt auf dem östlichen Europa: „Europa orientalis - das orthodoxe Europa als Geschichtsraum“ (Wolfram von Scheliha), „Hauptstadtproblem - Hauptstadtsuche im östlichen Europa“ (Elena Temper), „Geschichtspolitik im ,neuen Osteuropa‘: Die Ukraine und ihre Nachbarn“ (Wilfried Jilge) oder „Eastern Europe in the European World-Economy (1500-1800)” (Stefan Troebst) lauten die Titel einschlägiger Lehrveranstaltungen – um nur einige zu nennen. Auch wenn die Erstsemester unter Ihnen mit den Pflichtveranstaltungen gut ausgelastet sein dürften, sollte die eine oder der andere doch erwägen, eine der genannten Osteuropa-Veranstaltungen gleichsam im Vorgriff auf das dritte Semester zu belegen. Natürlich besteht, wie immer, die Möglichkeit, am Semesterbeginn in mehrere dieser Seminare hinein zu hören, um sich anschließend für eines zu entscheiden. Auch außerhalb des GESI wird das östliche Europa in diesem Semester in Leipzig im Fokus stehen: Universität, Geisteswissenschaftliches Zentrum Geschichte und Kultur Ostmitteleuropas (GWZO) und Kompetenzzentrum Mittel- und Osteuropa Leipzig (KOMOEL) veranstalten die Vorlesungsreihe „Die Ukraine in Europa“ mit ukrainischen und deutschen Referenten aus Politik, Wirtschaft, Kultur und Sport, und am 27. Oktober findet der diesjährige Sächsische Mittel- und Osteuropatag zum Thema „Grenzen überwinden! Regionale Kooperationen und nationale Minderheiten als Brückenbauer im vereinten Europa“ an der Westsächsischen Hochschule Zwickau statt. Das KOMOEL bietet kostenlosen Bustransfer an und bittet um Anmeldung ([email protected]). Und das 2011 anstehende Doppeljubiläum der fünfzigjährigen Partnerschaften zwischen den beiden Städten Leipzig und Kiev/Kyiv einerseits sowie Universität Leipzig und der Kiever Nationalen Taras Ševčenko-Universität andererseits wirft seine Schatten voraus. Die Begrüßung der neuen „European Studies“-Studierenden, findet am Montag, dem 4. Oktober um 16.00 Uhr im GESI statt. Dabei werden Sie Gelegenheit haben, Dorothea Warneck kennenzulernen, die im WS 2010/11 die auf Archivreisen befindliche Studiengangkoordinatorin Johanna Wolf vertreten wird. Ich wünsche uns allen ein produktives und erkenntnisträchtiges Semester. Ihr

Stefan Troebst Professor für Kulturstudien Ostmitteleuropas und Leiter des Masterprogramms „European Studies“

2. Semester

Modul 16 – MA ES 0210: Europäische Geschichte der Neuzeit II

Geschichte des Autors und der geistigen Eigentumsrechte in Europa (18.-20.Jh.) Seminar Dozent: Prof. Dr. Hannes Siegrist (Institut für Kulturwissenschaften) Termin: freitags, 9.00 – 11.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Geisteswissenschaftliches Zentrum, Beethovenstr. 15, Raum 5.116 Beginn: 15. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Essay Das Seminar verknüpft die Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte des modernen Autors und Künstlers mit der Geschichte der Urheber- und geistigen Eigentumsrechte. „Autor“ verweist dabei auf einen Begriff, eine soziale Rolle, eine natürliche Person oder ein Rechtssubjekt. Die Zuweisung exklusiver Vervielfältigung-, Verwertung- und Vermögensrechte in der Form eigentumsartiger Rechte wird seit zweihundert Jahren im Wesentlichen durch die Annahme begründet, dass der Autor ein „individuelles geistiges Werk“ geschaffen hat; d.h. eine unterscheidbare Ausdrucksform oder symbolische Darstellung, die zum Objekt kulturellen, kommunikativen, sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und rechtlichen Handelns wird. Die Formalisierung geistiger Eigentumsrechte und deren Rückbindung an den Autor erfolgt in Westeuropa und Teilen Mitteleuropas erstmalig in den großen politischen und institutionellen Revolutionen um 1800 und in den liberalen Reformen des 19.Jahrhunderts. Mithilfe neuer Prinzipien und Regeln, die sich in den Auseinandersetzungen zwischen kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Eliten und Gegeneliten herausbildeten, sollten die Beziehungen in der Kultur, Medienindustrie und bürgerlichen Öffentlichkeit in allgemein verbindlicher Form standardisiert und berechenbar gemacht werden. Die neuen Institutionen wurden zu einem zentralen Element des modernen kulturstaatlich, rechtstaatlich, marktwirtschaftlich und zivilgesellschaftlich verfassten Urheberrechts- und Kulturregimes. Sie waren einen durch die Liberalisierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft bestimmt, zum anderen durch die Kultur-, Bildungs- und Rechtspolitik moderner Staaten und Imperien. Einmal etabliert, gewinnt das Autoren- und geistige Eigentumsrecht eine gewisse Autonomie und Eigendynamik. Im weiteren Verlauf des 19. Jahrhunderts und im 20.Jahrhundert bestimmt es die Wahrnehmung, Deutung und Regulierung kultureller Funktionen, Werke, Beziehungen und Prozesse maßgeblich mit. Es wird aber auch ständig an den Wandel kultureller Werte, Funktionen, Rollen, Werke und Waren angepasst. Private Produzenten und Kulturstaaten benutzen und entwickeln das geistige Eigentumsrecht weiter, um ihre Interessen zu sichern. Indem sich geistige Eigentumsrechte verbreiten, differenzieren und gegen alternative, nicht-proprietäre Regulierungsformen durchsetzen, geraten sie indessen von Anfang an ins Visier der bürgerlichen wie der anti-bürgerlichen Eigentumskritik. Diese weitet sich zyklisch von einer engeren Rechtskritik zu einer grundsätzlichen Kultur-, Kunst- und Gesellschaftskritik aus. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei jeweils die Problematik des Ausgleichs zwischen individuellen geistigen Eigentumsrechten und kulturellen Gemeinrechten; und die Frage nach dem Sinn und Nutzen proprietärer Institutionen in der Kultur, Wissenschaft und Bildung überhaupt. Geistige Eigentumsrechte sind so seit zweihundert Jahren ein ständiges Thema in den periodisch aufflammenden Auseinandersetzungen über die Institutionalisierung und Organisation der modernen Kultur und Kulturwirtschaft. Die Auseinandersetzungen darüber kulminieren jeweils in Zeiten beschleunigten und radikalen kulturellen, sozialen, politischen, wirtschaftlichen, rechtlichen, technischen oder medialen Wandels. Um derartige historische Umbruchzeiten handelt es sich bei den Jahrzehnten vor und nach 1800, 1900 und 2000. Literatur: Hannes Siegrist, Geschichte des geistigen Eigentums und der Urheberrechte.

Institutionalisierung und Organisation der Kunst im internationalen Vergleich (18. – 20. Jh.) Seminar Dozent: Prof. Dr. Hannes Siegrist Termin: mittwochs, 17.00 – 19.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Neues Seminargebäude (NSG), Universitätsstr. 7, Raum S 120 Beginn: 13. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Literaturbericht Das Seminar behandelt die Geschichte der Institutionalisierung und Organisation von Prozessen der Produktion, Vermittlung und Rezeption von Kunst. „Institutionalisierung“ verweist dabei auf soziale, kulturelle, ästhetische und rechtliche Institutionen (Regeln), die den Umgang mit kulturellen Artefakten und die Beziehungen des künstlerischen Feldes normieren und berechenbar machen. „Organisation“ verweist darauf, dass das moderne Kunstleben ganz wesentlich durch „Organisationen“ bestimmt ist. Behandelt werden Organisationen wie Kunstverein, Kunstakademie, Künstlerverband, privates Kultur- und Medienunternehmen, Kulturverwaltung, Kulturstaat, Stiftung, Museum, Galerie, Publikumsverbände; sowie vereinsförmige, clubförmige, berufliche, marktförmige, politikförmige und mäzenatische Formen der Regulierung kulturellen Handelns. Ziel des Seminars ist es, anhand der neueren historischen Forschungsliteratur die wichtigsten Institutionen und ausgewählte Typen der Organisation im jeweiligen historischen Kontext zu begreifen und Kriterien für die historische, vergleichende und systematische Bewertung kultureller Prozesse und Strukturen zu entwickeln.

Modul 16 – MA ES 0310: Europäisierung in Ost-, Ostmittel- und Südosteuropa I

In diesem Modul müssen drei Lehrveranstaltungen besucht und in jeweils zwei Veranstaltungen muss eine Prüfung absolviert werden. Die dritte muss durch einen Teilnahmeschein bestätigt werden.

Einführung in die Kulturstudien Ost(mittel)europas

Vorlesung Dozent: Prof. Dr. Stefan Troebst (Institut für Slavistik, Professur für Kulturstudien Ostmitteleuropas, Global and European Studies Institute) Termin: mittwochs, 9.00 – 11.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Neues Seminargebäude (NSG), Universitätsstr. 7, Raum 223 Beginn: 13. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Essay Kulturstudien haben zum Ziel, eine spezifische Kultur verstehen zu lernen und dabei zu erfahren, wie das Verstehen fremder Kulturen generell vor sich geht. Zugleich kann das Verstehen einer anderen Kultur zu einem besseren Verständnis der eigenen führen. Wer dergestalt zwischen zwei Kulturen agiert und vermittelt, erwirbt neben Sprach- und Regionalkenntnissen interkulturelle wie interpersonelle Kompetenz, die in einer Vielzahl von Berufsfeldern nachgefragt wird. Den überwiegend slavischsprachigen Gesellschaften Ost(mittel)europas gemeinsam ist, daß sie derzeit Schauplatz der Rückgängigmachung des Experiments „Sozialismus” sind. Überdies lassen sich etliche großregionale historische Strukturfaktoren ermitteln, welche ihre Kulturen langfristig prägen. Literatur: Troebst, Stefan: Kulturstudien Ostmitteleuropas.

Eastern Europe in the European World-Economy (1500-1800) Seminar Dozent: Prof. Dr. Stefan Troebst (Institut für Slavistik, Professur für Kulturstudien Ostmitteleuropas, Global and European Studies Institute) Termin: dienstags, 17.00 – 18.30 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Global and European Studies Institute (GESI), Emil-Fuchs-Str. 1, Raum 3.15 Beginn: 12. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Essay In the early modern period, Northwestern Europe, i. e. the Netherlands and England, became the core of what Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein have called the European World-Economy—a transcontinental trade network incorporating parts of Asia, Africa and the Americas. A precondition for this development was the transformation of East-Central Europe, here in particular of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, into Northwestern Europe’s ‘bread basket’ as well as of Muscovy into the main production area for naval stores and thus into the backbone of the Dutch and English merchant fleet and navy. Eastern Europe’s new economic importance had significant socio-economic consequences like ‘gutsherrschaft’ and ‘second serfdom’. Parallely, the territorial expansion of the Muscovite State to the South and into Siberia turned Eastern Europe into an important transit region for West European trade with Iran, India and China. The tiny Baltic Duchy of Kurland acquired even colonies in the West Indies. Literatur: Braudel, Fernand: Civilisation matérielle, économie et capitalisme (XVe–XVIIIe siècles). 3 vols.

Hauptstadtproblem – Hauptstadtsuche im östlichen Europa Seminar Dozentin: Dr. Elena Temper (Global and European Studies Institute) Termin: montags, 13.00 – 15.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Global and European Studies Institute (GESI), Emil-Fuchs-Str. 1, Raum 3.15 Beginn: 11. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Essay Eine Hauptstadt gehört zu den unverzichtbaren Bestandteilen eines modernen Staates. Neben Wappen, Flagge und Hymne stellt die Hauptstadt eines der wichtigsten Symbole eines Staates dar. Doch lebt die Hauptstadt nicht allein vom „Glanz der Macht“. Ihre Gestaltung bildet ein zentrales Mittel staatlicher Repräsentation im 20. Jahrhundert. Neben der Primärfunktion als administratives Zentrum besitzt die Hauptstadt als Sammelbecken nationaler Kultur einen Symbolcharakter für den Nationalstaat. Dies trifft jedoch nicht immer zu, denn oft ist die Hauptstadt ein aus Zweckmäßigkeitsgründen gewählter Ort, der günstige

Bedingungen für die Errichtung von staatlichen Institutionen bietet oder es kommt zur Neuerrichtung der sogenannten Retortenhauptstädte auf der grünen Wiese wie die Beispiele von Brasília und Astana zeigen. Das Seminar beschäftigt sich mit der Hauptstadtproblematik im östlichen Europa in Zeiten der Nationalstaatsgründungen (nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg und nach 1989). Die zentralen Fragen werden sein: Wie wird eine Stadt zur Hauptstadt? Welche Funktionen zeichnen sie aus? Durch welche visuellen Praktiken wird sie als nationales Symbol wahrnehmbar?

Geschichtspolitik im „neuen Osteuropa“: Die Ukraine und ihre Nachbarn Seminar Dozent: Wilfried Jilge, M.A. (Geisteswissenschaftliches Zentrum Geschichte und Kultur Ostmitteleuropas) Termin: dienstags, 11.00 – 13.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Neues Seminargebäude, Universitätsstraße 7, Raum 213 Beginn: 12. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Essay Nach dem Ende des Kommunismus im östlichen Europa und der damit verbundenen Erlangung staatlicher Unabhängigkeit oder der Rückgewinnung der vollen staatlichen Souveränität stand und steht teilweise noch immer das Problem der Konstruktion einer einheitlichen „Nationalgeschichte“ als zentraler Quelle nationaler Identitätsbildung im Zentrum öffentlicher Debatten und Kontroversen der Gesellschaften Ost- und Ostmitteleuropas. In der Ukraine wie in anderen neuen souveränen Staaten Osteuropas wird Bestreben deutlich, die staatliche Unabhängigkeit und ihre grundlegende außen- und innenpolitische Ausrichtung mittels nationaler Geschichtsbilder zu legitimieren und die eigene Nation zu begründen. Bei der Erörterung politischer Probleme verweist man auf Handlungsmuster der Vergangenheit als Ausweg aus aktuellen politischen Krisen. Im Fall der postsowjetischen Ukraine sind die lange Zugehörigkeit unterschiedlicher Teilgebiete zu unterschiedlichen Großreichen (Polen-Litauen, Österreich-Ungarn, Russisches Reich, Krimkhanat und Sowjetunion) und der daraus resultierende Mangel staatlicher Kontinuität ein Grund für die starke Verbindung zwischen historischer Erinnerung einerseits und nationaler Identitäts- und Staatsbildung andererseits. Dies erklärt auch das Bedürfnis, die eigene „nationale Idee“ in historischer Perspektive vor allem gegenüber den Nachbarn Polen und Russland abzugrenzen. „Geschichtspolitik“, d.h. die Nutzung der nationalen Vergangenheit zur Konstruktion und Mobilisierung kollektiver (nationaler) Identitäten sowie Legitimierung politischer Ziele, ist im höchsten Maße ambivalent: Sie ist einerseits konfliktträchtig, andererseits kann sie aber auch der symbolischen Begründung und Einwurzelung universeller Freiheitsrechte und demokratischer Institutionen in der nationalen Gesellschaft dienen. Als ein Schlüsselelement der Politik im post-sowjetischen Transformationsprozess des östlichen Europa stehen „Geschichtspolitik“ und die mit ihr verbundenen Begriffe im Zentrum dieses Seminars. Erinnerungen an gesellschaftlich kontroverse Schlüsselereignisse wie den Zweiten Weltkrieg bzw. den „Großen Vaterländischen Krieg“, die die geschichtspolitischen Debatten dominieren, bilden dabei einen Schwerpunkt. Am Beispiel der regional diversen Kriegserinnerungen in der Ukraine lassen sich nicht nur das ambivalente Verhältnis zwischen der Erinnerung an den Kommunismus einerseits und der Demokratisierung von Staat und Gesellschaft andererseits sowie die Funktion und Bedeutung von Geschichtspolitik für den postsowjetischen Nationsbildungsprozess darstellen. Die Kontroversen um die „richtige“ und „historisch wahre“ Deutung des Krieges sind auch untrennbar mit konkurrierenden

Kriegsgeschichtsbildern der Nachbarländer verbunden. Schon deswegen werden auch die Geschichtspolitiken der Nachbarstaaten der Ukraine (z.B. Polen und Rußland) in das Seminar einbezogen. Die Veranstaltung soll in die Bedeutung und Funktion des Begriffes „Geschichtspolitik“ und der thematisch benachbarten Begriffe, wie z.B. „Erinnerungskultur“, „Geschichtskultur“, „Nation“ im Kontext des Postsozialismus einführen und an die methodisch kontrollierte Analyse von Geschichtspolitik und ihren Medien (z.B. Symbole, Denkmäler) heranführen.

Europa orientalis – das orthodoxe Europa als Geschichtsraum Seminar Dozent: Dr. Wolfram von Scheliha (Global and European Studies Institute) Termin: mittwochs, 15.00 – 17.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Neues Seminargebäude, Universitätsstraße 7, Raum 215 Beginn: 13. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Essay „Orthodoxe aller Länder vereinigt Euch!“, fordert eine russische NGO, und der weißrussische Präsident Lukašenka soll bekannt haben: „Ich bin Atheist, aber ich bin ein orthodoxer Atheist“. Für russische Schulen wird seit langem die Schaffung eines Faches „Grundlagen der orthodoxen Kultur“ als Pendant zu dem an US-Colleges verbreiteten Kurs „The History of Western Civilization“ gefordert. Aber auch in Westeuropa wird und wurde der orthodoxe Teil des Kontinent als etwas Andersartiges und Fremdes wahrgenommen. „Alter orbis“, eine andere Welt, nannte ihn ein Krakauer Bischof im 12. Jh., und Samuel Huntington stellte in seinem Buch „The Clash of Civilizations“ fest: „Europe ends where Western Christianity ends and Islam and Orthodoxy begin.“ Diese fast tausendjährige religiöse Spaltung ist nach dem Verschwinden des ideologisch bedingten „eisernen Vorhangs“ wieder deutlich sichtbar geworden. In dem Seminar wird der Versuch unternommen, das „Europa orientalis“ in einem weiten zeitlichen Bogen vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart mit einem Fokus auf Russland zu erfassen. In den Blick genommen werden dabei sowohl Aspekte, die einen solchen orthodox-europäischen Geschichtsraum zu konstituieren geeignet sind, als auch diejenigen, die einer solchen Konstruktion entgegenlaufen. Themenschwerpunkte sind u.a.: „The Byzantine Commonwealth“, „Moskau – das dritte Rom“, Europäisierung/Verwestlichung, Slavophile/Westler, Eurasianismus, politische Orthodoxie als Ideologie der post-sowjetischen Ära.

Verflochtene Geschichten: Ostmitteleuropa im transnationalen Kontext Seminar Dozent: Dr. Frank Hadler, GWZO Termin: dienstags, 15.00 – 17.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Neues Seminargebäude, Universitätsstraße 7, Raum 121 Beginn: 19.10.2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Referat und Essay Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie jene zwischen Ostsee und Adria gelegenen Länder, die nie über eigene Kolonien außerhalb Europas verfügten, in ihrer Geschichte auf vielfältige Weise mit Asien, Afrika und Lateinamerika verbunden waren und ihren Platz in internationalen Organisationen fanden. Das Seminar basiert auf aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen, die zeigen, dass solche transnationalen Verflechtungen in reicher Zahl bestanden und quellenmäßig sehr gut erschließbar sind.

Modul 16 – MA ES 0320: Westeuropa in der Europäisierung des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts I

Im WS 2010/11 werden keine Lehrveranstaltungen in diesem Modul angeboten.

Modul 16 – MA ES 0330: Europäische Kulturgeschichte der Juden

In diesem Modul müssen drei Lehrveranstaltungen besucht und in jeweils zwei Veranstaltungen muss eine Prüfung absolviert werden. Die dritte muss durch einen Teilnahmeschein bestätigt werden. Staatenlose, Staatenlosigkeit und jüdische Erfahrung im Europa der Zwischenkriegszeit Seminar Dozenten: Prof. Dr. Dan Diner/ Dr. Yaron Jean (Simon-Dubnow-Institut) Termin: freitags, 11.00 –13.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Simon-Dubnow-Institut, Goldschmidtstr. 28, Seminarraum Beginn: 15. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Essay Staatenlosigkeit ist ein Phänomen der Moderne, das fast parallel zur Etablierung des Nationalstaates in Europa entstand. Jedoch erst nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurde die Staatenlosigkeit zum Phänomen einer zwischenstaatlichen Krise in Europa. In Folge des Aufeinandertreffens der kollektiven Zugehörigkeit und des territorialgebundenen Ideals des Nationalstaates und den umfangreichen Grenzänderungen wurden Millionen von Menschen zu Staatenlosen. Was bedeutete es, in Europa nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg staatenlos zu sein? Inwiefern wirkte die Frage der Staatenlosigkeit nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg auf die Juden als eine nicht-territoriale Bevölkerung ein? Die Frage der Entstehung und Erfahrung von Staatenlosigkeit soll aus kulturhistorischer Perspektive untersucht und ihre Auswirkung auf das Schicksal der Juden in Europa in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts analysiert werden. Literatur: Grundlegende Texte zur Veranstaltung werden zu Beginn des Semesters in einem Semesterapparat in der Bibliothek des DI bereitgestellt. Die arabischen Intellektuellen und der Holocaust – Erinnerungen und Erkenntnisse Seminar Dozent: Dr. Omar Kamil (Simon-Dubnow-Institut) Termin: dienstags, 11.00 – 13.00 Uhr (wöchentlich) Ort: Simon-Dubnow-Institut, Goldschmidtstr. 28, Seminarraum Beginn: 12. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Essay Während sich in den Jahren nach 1945 der Holocaust als „Zivilisationsbruch“ (Dan Diner) in Europa – wenn auch langsam und nicht ohne Widerstände – zu einem Schlüsselthema der jeweiligen Historiografien und politischen Kulturen entwickelte, blieb seine Rezeption durch arabische Intellektuelle in einem besonderen Maße eingeschränkt, ja „blockiert“. Hier wurde der Holocaust einerseits als Ereignis kaum wahrgenommen, andererseits sein Ausmaß, seine Ursachen und seine Bedeutung – wenn überhaupt – relativiert oder geleugnet und seine Folgen verengt dargestellt. Das Seminar situiert sich

inhaltlich in der Überschneidungszone zweier kulturell unterschiedlicher Kulturräume – des europäischen und des arabischen. Es soll dabei methodisch Kultur-, Geistes- und Mentalitätsgeschichte zusammenführen, um jene „Rezeptionsblockade“ zu dechiffrieren und eben jenes Wahrnehmungsdefizit sowohl historisch wie unter epistemologischer Fragestellung zu entschlüsseln. Literatur: Grundlegende Texte zur Veranstaltung werden zu Beginn des Semesters in einem Semesterapparat in der Bibliothek des DI bereitgestellt. Transformationen. Über religiöse Konversion in der Frühen Neuzeit Forschungskolloquium Dozenten: Prof. Dr. Dan Diner/ PD Dr. Jörg Deventer (Simon-Dubnow-Institut) Termin: donnerstags, 18.00 – 20.00 Uhr (vierzehntäglich) Ort: Simon-Dubnow-Institut, Goldschmidtstr. 28, Seminarraum Beginn: 14. Oktober 2010 Belegung: Wahlpflicht Prüfung: Teilnahme Das Forschungskolloquium im Wintersemester 2010/2011 wendet sich der Epoche der Frühen Neuzeit zu. Im Kontext der neueren Kulturtransfer-, Übersetzungs- und Säkularisierungsforschung hat sich das Thema Glaubenswechsel in den letzten Jahren zu einem äußerst dynamischen Feld der Frühneuzeitforschung entwickelt. In den Vorträgen sollen Ergebnisse der neueren kulturgeschichtlichen Konversionsforschung vorgestellt werden, die durch eine zunehmende Ausdifferenzierung im Hinblick auf Zugänge und Methoden im Umgang mit Phänomenen religiöser Neu- und Umorientierungen charakterisiert ist. In unterschiedlichen räumlichen Kontexten werden sowohl innerchristliche Glaubenswechsel als auch Übertritte von Juden, Christen und Muslimen in die jeweils andere religiöse Zugehörigkeit thematisiert. Das Augenmerk soll sich dabei insbesondere auf soziale Praktiken, wechselseitige kulturelle Austausch- und Aneignungsprozesse sowie medial vermittelte Konversionsnarrative richten.
